“Success is in the details.” You must be willing to put 100% into every aspect of your school work (for example, reading the graphs that “most people skip over” in your history textbook ahem me, checking your work after you’ve completed the test, etc)

The Halo Effect. During the first week of school, convince your teachers that you’re a “nice, hardworking little angel.” This way, they are more likely going to think you’re smart, and hence more likely going to give you a higher grade and be more lenient when marking your work. 

The “Show Up and Shut Up” approach. Show up to all your classes, everyday, and shut up and pay attention to the teacher. 

Ask questions often. It helps you understand the material better when you clarify your doubts and makes the teacher think you’re super engaged in the lesson :-) 

Finish every homework assignment. Which means the reading assignment, the non-graded assignment, all of it, have to be done. 

Grades need to be your priority. This means you have to spend less time doing things you enjoy. 

Surround yourself with the smartest people. Their expectations for their grades soon become your expectations. Furthermore, you can ask them to tutor you, and that’s nice :)

Don’t say “can’t”. Your brain believes whatever you convince it. Once you believe, you will do everything in your will to make it come true. 

Know why you’re aiming for straight a’s. If you know why you’re doing this, you’ll be more motivated to reach your goal. 

i personally find this extremely hardcore, but i’m gonna try it anyway. tell me if you want me to type out any other video.

there’s a lot of shit on here about lighting candles and waking up early to see the sunset and if we are being hella honest, no one actually does that. u probably don’t own candles or if u do there in a closet and the only time you wake up early all year round is never. so here’s a guide to actual human beings.
